The Edutainer with Dr. Erin L. Albert Dr. Erin L. Albert

This is it - the end of 2019!
Big announcements in this tiny podcast today, this last one of 2019:
1. Saying so long to BUCOPHS and The Pharmacy Podcast Network, officially. ✌️
2. New things coming? We'll see - stay tuned! 🤞
3. I'm officially giving myself a vacation from social media in January 2020. That includes this tiny podcast. Don't worry - I'll be back before you know it! Just need to recharge my batteries so I can bring even BETTER stuff to y'all in the new decade and level up! 👊
Happy New Year! Happy New 10 years! And don't forget to KEEP BEING AWESOME OUT THERE!!! 🙌
(Podcast episode thumbnail today, clockwise, from 12 pm: My most awesome class of students at Butler this fall - The nontraditional Healthcare Professional, top 9 from insta, ASCP composite, Podcasting 101 tribe, speakers in the Nontraditional HC Pro Elective and various places around the universe, bookclub, associations podcast miniseries, students and annual meeting at ASCP, Forum at ASCP.)

Listen in, and I can't wait to hear from you on what YOUR favorite things were of your 2019!

Another BETA test this morning: my very first Castbox podcast LIVE I ran this morning to try out! Yay! (That’s why this morning’s show was delayed.) More on that in this episode!🙌

Chad Priest is a fascinating healthcare professional. He currently serves as the head of the Indiana Red Cross, and soon to be expanding into the Midwest Red Cross. He also professionally is trained as an EMT, Nurse, and Attorney. His area of specialty is disaster preparation and relief.

Chad was kind enough to speaking in my Nontraditional Healthcare Professional Elective this fall, and now in turn has invited me to speak at the red cross about one of my pet peeves - on meetings! LOL. Give a listen to my conversation with Chad for a different set of ideas on healthcare career development - and if you can, help out at your own local red cross, wherever in the world that is or happens to be!

And a fantastic quote from Chad about why he chose nursing: https://nursing.iupui.edu/alumni-giving/alumni/spotlights/priest-chad.shtml 

FESTIVUS! But we have no grievances with you this year, my friends - thanks for making it another GREAT one in #podcasting!
